Clearly it is going to have to tie in with your work, and you might have to do some of it in your own time but they are committed to providing the successful candidate with the training to achieve Microsoft (MCP, MCDST, and MCSE) , Cisco & VMware certifications from day one. Salary is flexible for the right person and in the region of £17,000 - £22,000 + Travel expenses (and the training!)
